The ones who shouted were none other than the humanoid Wyvern brothers who were assuring that they wouldn't vent their anger on the new member.
However, as soon as they saw Ajax, they could not control their anger and shouted out loud.
'Human?'
Even Draco and Fagorn frowned when they saw Ajax as they were not expecting a human to join their exploration squad.
Actually, it was not their fault because almost everyone in the Dragon Region looked down on humans and how could they let a human join their squad?
If other squads know about it, they would become a laughingstock.
"Fangorn, calm them."
Nevertheless, Draco was calm and asked the deputy squad leader to calm the angry brothers.
"Yes."
Fangorn took only a single look at Ajax and didn't bother to look before calming the angry brothers with his words.
"Human, the only reason we are letting you join our squad is because of Prince Dakon. Just stay behind us and don't hinder us from completing our mission."
While Fangorn was busy calming the angry brothers, Draco spoke to Ajax in a deep voice, "If you die, it would leave a remark on my squad. So, try to stay alive."
"Also, welcome to the team."
After saying these words, Draco stopped speaking and signalled the cultivators who were in charge of the Teleportation Gate.
"..."
On the other hand, Ajax was speechless as he didn't expect he would get such a warm welcome from his squad members.
'Sigh…not all cultivators from the Dragon Region would be like Jade Dragonling.'
For a moment, Ajax thought about his little brother Jade Dragonling and shook his head.
Of course, Ajax also knew the reason why the Jade Dragonling was addressing him as big brother and was always respectful to him because of the World Cores.
'Anyway, this is how the cultivators from the Dragon Region will be.'
Before entering the Stormfire Wyvern World, Ajax had already expected such behaviour from the inhabitants of the world.
Hence, he didn't think too much about it and waited for the Teleportation Gate to activate.
"Control your anger if you don't want to stay by your side."
After signalling the cultivators in charge of the Teleportation Gate, Draco looked at the angry brothers and said a single line to make them as docile as rabbits.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Sir Draco, the portal to the Darkworld 1021 is ready."
Soon, the cultivator informed Draco about the portal along with some information regarding the world, "Even though it was the outermost world in the Dark Region, it was said that there were more than 20 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths."
"If you can kill them all, you and your squad members, except for the new guy, can undergo Body Tempering and upgrade your bloodlines."
In the Stormfire World, once a wyvern becomes an Emperor Realm Cultivator, its cultivation speed would be dropped drastically and the only way for them to regain their cultivation speed was by improving their bloodline.
Even though there were many methods to upgrade the bloodline, the easiest way was to enter the worlds in the Dark Region and collect 10 Darkfire Crystals that can be obtained from the bodies of the Darkfire Wraiths.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
With that, they could get free access to undergo the body tempering with the Sentient Flame which makes them strong and durable along with the upgrade in their Bloodlines.
Even though a few Wyverns might buy the Darkfire Crystals, they have to spend a lot of money. Moreover, they would be looked down upon by the other Wyvern Cultivators if they learned that he or she didn't enter the Dark Region.
"Everyone, as long as we work hard this one time, our lives will change and our path to ascending the Heavenly Bestial Realm would be easy."
Draco motivated his squad members before tossing them a black-coloured pill at everyone, including Ajax.
"All the worlds in the Dark Region are filled with ghastly evil energy that would corrode your body and with these Shadowbane Pills. Each pill can help you stay in those worlds for one day."
It was Fangorn who explained the Shadowbane Pills to Ajax since it was Ajax's first time entering the Dark Region and didn't know about those pills.
"They are quite precious and we needed to spend a lot to create a bottle of these Shadowbane Pills that only have 10 pills."
"With these 10 pills, we can still see the world 1021 for two days. Let's hope we can complete the mission and not enter the Dark Region anymore."
Draco said all the details Ajax needed to know before saying, "Let's enter."
As soon as he said that, Draco entered the portal without wasting any time and behind him, Fangorn, Wynd and Fyre rushed into the portal after tossing the Shadowbane Pills into their mouths.
'Let's go and see what the worlds in the Dark Region look like.'
With an excited look on his face, Ajax also ate the pill after checking the information about it and soon, walked through the portal.
….
World No. 1021, Outer Section of the Dark Region.
The entire world was filled with malevolent energy that could make anyone shiver just by setting foot on the ground.
This malevolent energy permeates the air, seeping into every crevice and suffusing the landscape with an eerie, oppressive aura with desolate landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see.
The energy exudes a chilling coldness as if draining the warmth and life force from its surroundings.
'Swoosh'
In a world that was filled with such an evil environment, a huge portal suddenly opened and two humanoid wyverns along with three human figures walked out of it.
They were none other than Ajax and his squad members and except for Ajax, the remaining four were all Stormfire Wyverns.
"Wynd, Fyre, stay alert."
"Fangorn…"
"I am on it, Draco."
As soon as they entered World 1021, Draco gave his first and before he could give an order to Fangorn, the deputy squad leader said that he was already on it.
'Little ones, go and find those evil creatures.'
Fangorn opened a small pouch on his waist and soon, more than a dozen small wyverns came out and flew into different directions.
